If anyone can take a Tipple flute into a cave and make it sing, it's Michael. The potential for cool sound effects boggles the mind

So, what do you guys think? Dixon 3 piece or Tipple? :) At the risk of entering the fray, I'll say as a fairly recent noob myself I started on a Tipple and have since purchased much more expensive instruments. I've also owned and played Dixon 3 piece flutes, and liked them as well. I agree with you...

Thanks for the post. I was looking for a solid tuner and music slow downer for my iPhone.

Another useful iPhone app is TradTunes, which contains ~4,000 tunes in ABC format. No notation viewer as yet, but reading ABC isn't too hard once you get used to it.

Here is my 1921 made by Karl Muller in Germany. It has a dark, rich tone that when played by a talented fiddler (not I) sounds great.

The flute is still available. If you are interested and the asking price is too much, please make an offer. I'd rather sell to a C&F'r than on eBay if possible.

I've got a new Michael Copeland Keyless for sale which I purchased this year from Doc Jones at the Irish Flute Store. It's a beautiful instrument that plays well, but I just haven't been able to play it much due to arthritis and can't see it sitting around collecting dust. It has been well oiled and...

So sorry for missing your post :sniffle: There are sessions every Monday at Fado's in Buckhead and the 1st and 3rd Sunday at the Harp in Roswell. We may be adding another session the 2nd Sunday in Decatur as well. If I had seen you're post we could have gotten some folks together for an ad-hoc sessi...

It is undergoing maintence and should be up soon. I checked with Paul and he's working on it.

Unfortunately no. But we do have a great session Monday nights at Fado in Buckhead starting at 8PM.

I bought two Generation D's last week.they buzz and sweak terrible.Is there a fix for them? My Jerry Freeman squeaked, er, tweaked, Gen D is my current favorite whistle. If you search for his posts on tweaking he gives away all of his deepest, darkest, tweaking secrets for free. Shhhh. Don't tell a...

Hi Bill, I have been looking for whistle lessons in the Atlanta area. I have a Susato high D whistle and a low D whistle. I struggle a bit with the low D and I'd like some pointers. Any chance of a lesson? Or should I wander into Meehan's sometime? J Slow sessions are at the Harp on Holcomb Bridge ...

I recently went to a combined concert with Flook and Mary Kasey. The accordian/concertina player was Niall Vallely. I was not prepared to be impressed. But it happended anyway, and after being literally "wowed" by Flook the hour before. I guess my question is this: Can I, and if yes - how...

Lachenal Anglo 20-button G/D with a Tedrow 30-button G/D on order. I've been playing for around 3 months.

Takes years of practice, mate. Just keep your hands and fingers away from me mouth whilst eating and you'll be safe.
